MySQL is NOT abandoning Debian (Linux-Watch)

[Posted December 14, 2006 by cook]

Linux-Watch quashes rumors about losing support for the MySQL dbms on the Debian distribution. "In a note from MySQL AB public relations, a MySQL representative said, "MySQL AB apologizes for any miscommunication that may have implied that the MySQL database does not run on the popular Debian Linux operating system, or that the company does not offer technical support for MySQL Enterprise subscribers using Debian." She continued, "We have a strong commitment to Debian and other forms of Linux - for both open source community developers and corporate enterprises." Further, "The Debian Linux operating system is an active, growing and successful platform for the MySQL database to run on.""
